I would venture a guess that the appearance of what’s for sale has a lot to do with the class of the clientelle. Men likely won’t pay “high price call girl” prices unless you’re more Hillary Swank than Tammy Faye Baker.
I was in Las Vegas last month and there were quite a few persons on the strip, both men and women, who were distributing cards that were essentially advertizements for prostitutes. On an average a card would have a semi-nude picture of one(or more) women followed by some description of the service offered and a phone number to call. Quite a few of the cards said something to the effect that the girl would reach your room in under twenty minutes.
What was that? Scam? How were distributing these cards so freely in the open?
Man, I must be a hooker magnet. I’ve encountered hookers in The Nugget, Binion’s, The Stardust, The Sahara, Bally’s, Caesar’s, just off the top of my head. One of the hookers in The Nugget was from my hometown even. And the surprising thing was, as many as I encountered, my ex boss was much more tuned in to which girls were hookers. The few times I was there with him, he could spot them without fail (he was also a lot more accustomed to doing business with them). So either there are a lot more than you realize, or these girls were all liars 
I’m not saying “high price,” I’m saying “higher price.” Take a look at the craigslist personals, and you’ll see what type of girls are going for what prices. Hint: they’re mostly not Hillary Swank, and we’re looking at an average of around $200-$300, which is not in the “high price” territory, but certainly higher than your average street walker. I would say that any average looking girl would easily be able to charge this price a session if she were inclined to do that sort of business.
Full contact means you are allowed to touch also- generally not “inside”, but breasts, butt, thighs, etc, and she will touch you- but her hand will likely not touch your penis directly. Breifly through your pants- perhaps, and maybe, just maybe contact of the buttocks upon the bare penis (only in a private room). Yes, the man often reaches orgasm through friction. I have only once been with a hooker- legl, outside Vegas, but I was forced to spend a summer in Dallas, and spent quite a few bucks on “full contact” lapdances. Very nice and no VD to worry about.
wisernow- they weren’t selling sexual intercourse, just a “private show”- true some “entertainers” are just hookers, but it’s difficult to tel whether you are buying a private show or sex. In any case, sex will cost you another $200 (besides the base fee). The Private show will likely cost you another $50-$100, depending.
Thanks for the information, for which I hope I never have use.
Punch line to an old joke - “At these prices, you think you’re gonna get the easy one?”

What, college administrators turning tricks to support their drug habit? You really think so? Just about anyone with a decent full-time salary who doesn’t regularly blow their money on big TVs and such can easily afford some blow. Consider the fact that many of their students–who work and go to school–are heavy users. Also, if they’re willing to get their hands a little dirty–which is clearly the case if they’re part-time prostitutes–they can sling a little on the side and make their habit self-sustaining if they’re smart about it. You don’t even have to be a “dealer” as the collective imagination defines the word; you find out when two or three of your friends want some, you get a hookup, pool their cash together to buy in bulk and pocket the difference in cash or drugs. That’s a lot easier and less dangerous (in every sense of the word) than turning tricks.
Unless you mean sex addiction, which is probably prevalent in these cases–living out a “dirty girl” fantasy on the side. Not unlike their clients, I suppose.
Au contraire. Wherever there is sex, there is sexuality, and all that implies: fetishes, addictions, etc. Don’t lose sight of the fact that prostitutes are having sex just as much as their clients are. Running a business doesn’t make drug dealers immune to getting high or getting hooked; why would prostitution be different?
Las Vegas is a different place, ain’t it? One of my most enduring images of Vegas is a streetcorner handing out those little cards like someone here would pass out flyers for fundraisers. Another is the streetcorner literally covered in those cards, advertising hundreds of eager mouths and vaginas for rent.
Not firsthand knowledge, but based on the stories I heard from a friend of mine, a number of ladies from here in San Diego going to LV for weekend work is quite common.
This friend’s girlfriend was attending UNLV, so he was making fairly regular weekend trips to visit her. He said that he started noticing the same women regularly taking the same flights. It was obvious many of them were strippers who went to LV on weekends for more lucrative, part-time work. My friend told me he got to talking to a couple of them, and they said it was well worth their time/expense to do these excursions to Vegas.
As to teachers and secretaries, though, I couldn’t say.
I flew out of Las Vegas the first time standing in line next to a college woman from Oklahoma. She told me point blank that she flew in for weekends. She’d come in on Friday, do strip show dancing for two days or nights, fly home with cash. Simple deal. She had a bunch of friends who did the same thing. No hooking, NO touching. Stripping she was fine with- if they wanted to hand her piles of cash to look at her body, she was game.
She said it awful matter of factly, I suspect it was the truth. She said she wasn’t taking out student loans and was paying for school this way, and would through Grad School, then never dance again.
–shrug-- Business.
Cartooniverse, who just spent a week in Vegas and was not approached by anyone in Bally’s ! Hmmph ! 
Does it count as poetic justice when women use the fruits of objectification to pay their way through college?
More power to them, say I.
Is it ironic if they later complain of being objectified?
I’m not sure. I tired my irony meter on this idea, but the needle hit the peg at full scale so hard it bent, the glass covering the meter shattered, and then smoke started coming from the back of the unit.
First, the person said they were an administrative assistant, not a college administrator. I’ve been an administrative assistant at a college and for me it was a nice way of saying secretary so you don’t pull in big bucks.
I wasn’t making a judgement call, I was just curious. If you liked to party and even liked to do a moderate amounts of drugs, being a part time hooker would be a good way to pick up tax free cash for a weekend instead of waiting for a bi-weekly paycheck.
No, it truly becomes ironic when they major in women’s studies.
Dude, you know those things aren’t warranted for use on the Internet. 
Since you mentioned Cuba, I’ll say there’s loads in Bangkok, too. They generally congregate in freelancer places like the Soi 7 Beer Garden or Thermae Coffee Shop. Even along Sukhumvit Road itself late at night or early AM, although they are not waving over cars like in the West, but rather propositioning guys walking down the street. Sukhumvit Road from about Soi 4 to Soi Asoke – a pretty fair stretch, takes maybe 15 or 20 minutes to walk it – has loads of illegal sidewalk bars every night until daybreak, so there’s always a potential pool of johns.
Back in the economic crash of 1997, the freelancer joints filled to the brim with newly out-of-work secretaries.
